Performances are just so long, and lots of well-known bands merely do not have the time to play all of their most significant tunes. For some fans, learning which tunes will be dipped into a provided show is practically as huge of a draw as the acts themselves.

While it's uncommon for the greatest acts to straight-up refuse to play their greatest hits, these artists have factors for diving a bit deeper into their brochures and avoiding that tune you believed was ensured to make the setlist.
